 comment Wordpress blog penalized by Google search - what's wrong?
I can give a number of similarly page ranked blogs which are in similar situation to mine (multiple sites republishing partial feeds; a couple of them republishing full feed), yet they don't get penalized. Also, from Google guidelines: "it's unlikely that [another site duplicating your content] will negatively impact your site's ranking in Google." This means the problem should either hit many blogs or the problem is somewhere else. I tend to believe the latter, although I took action against the only site which steals full content from me at the moment.

Partial feed (teasers) is republished in many places, that's true. But if you take text from the middle of any post you'll find a single page republishing content (blogger-index.com and it doesn't work at the moment), so I don't think it is the issue of duplicate content. And there are way more popular blogs which seem to be scrapped by multiple sources (problogger.net - 16 sites) and they don't suffer from duplicate content penalty.
